Hey Rai Prompts Overview

Applies To: WatchGuard Cloud

Hey Rai includes predefined prompts you can use to ask activity or inventory questions, investigate incidents, explore platform security strength, perform actions, and create reports.

Note: Hey Rai uses generative AI. AI-generated output may be inaccurate, incomplete, or out of date. Review and verify all output before relying on it or taking action based on it, including changes to configurations or security policies.

There are two kinds of prompts in Hey Rai:

Read-only

A read-only prompt asks Rai to look up, summarize, or explain information. It does not change anything in WatchGuard Cloud, so the prompt runs without approval.

Write

A write prompt asks Rai to change something in WatchGuard Cloud, such as incident status, an endpoint, blocked traffic, or a license. Write prompts require Hey Rai in-chat approval.

You can sort prompts in the Hey Rai library by category and role, or search for specific prompts by category, role, tag, or keyword.

To view the prompt library, click Prompts in the Hey Rai UI. To run a prompt, click it.

Roles

In Hey Rai, Admin, Analyst, Auditor, and Customer Success represent the four operational roles designed to handle repetitive, information-heavy tasks so human teams can focus on high-judgment, client-facing work. You can sort prompts in the Hey Rai library by role.

  • Admin — The Rai Admin role manages operations, deploys configurations, schedules maintenance, and manages user accounts and permissions.
  • Analyst — The Rai Analyst role detects threats in real time, performs alert triage, monitors inventory, and investigates incidents.
  • Auditor — The Rai Auditor role verifies policies, monitors compliance, audits, and reports on security strength.
  • Customer Success — The Rai Customer Success role focuses on client relationships, value demonstration, and data assembly for reports.

Categories

The prompts in the Hey Rai library are divided into categories that correspond to the stages of a security workflow. Each category in the Hey Rai prompt library focuses on one central question. These are the Hey Rai prompt categories:

  • Triage — What needs attention right now, across accounts?
  • Investigate — What happened, why, and what is the evidence?
  • Posture — Am I protected, and where are the gaps?
  • Respond — What should I do?
  • Reporting — What information can I send based on what Rai knows?
  • Inventory — What do I own, who has access, and where does it stand?
